The joys of maintaining software. Nothing seems to change does it? This was a typical problem in the 60's, 70's, 80's, etc. Back in the dark ages prior to 1990, people used to change whole operating systems when they released a new computer. Now the computer stays the same and they just change the operating system.
Actually, things are better on a percentage basis, but we all are doing more things so we are behind in terms of absolute numbers of challenges. 73, Tod, K0TO On 3/15/12 8:28 AM, "Jim Reisert AD1C" <[email protected]> wrote: >Good news: > >I pulled out my laptop running Windows XP which is fully up-to-date on >fixes and I can duplicate the problem there too. > >Bad news: > >The fix I tried, which makes the program work on Windows XP, does NOT >work on Windows 7. > > >1.
